With water supplies running low and tensions running high, it's no wonder war has broken out. No draft is needed for this war, many young men, such as Marcus Raymond, joined the military merely to escape the troubles of living in a waterless home. Though joining the military is considered the easy way out, this idea is proven wrong when the dam Marcus has been stationed at to protect is attacked. Amidst the confusion of fighting, Marcus and few others from his platoon are lost out in a deserted wasteland. With great luck they stumble upon a lost water source, however not everyone has forgotten of its existence and the group has to fight for the only water for thousands and thousands of miles. Now with water to keep them alive and stolen supplies, the team can now finally get help and return to civilization. And for their find, they are given the title of heroes, which is something Marcus doesn't believe he deserves.
